At St Aidan’s, we believe that a child’s health and wellbeing are deeply linked to their academic progress and lifelong success. That’s why our PSHE curriculum is designed not only to meet statutory requirements, but to nurture the whole child—spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically—within the context of our Catholic values.
Our vision is that children develop crucial life skills and positive attitudes through a comprehensive and engaging PSHE education. We have carefully shaped our curriculum to reflect the context and needs of our community, ensuring that all learning is relevant, inclusive, and impactful.
Through the PSHE Association programme and the Archdiocese of Liverpool’s Journey in Love scheme, we deliver all aspects of statutory Relationships, Health and Sex Education in a way that supports emotional intelligence, respect for self and others, and the ability to make safe and informed choices. PSHE at St Aidan’s is closely linked with subjects such as Science and Computing to help children stay safe and well both online and in the real world.
Our children learn how to:
- Understand and talk about their own wellbeing, both physical and mental
- Recognise and respond appropriately to risks (including online safety, peer pressure, grooming, and exploitation)
- Stay safe and seek support when needed
- Build healthy relationships and contribute positively to their communities
We are proud that all pupils—including those who are disadvantaged or have SEND—develop the confidence and knowledge to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and compassion.
If a pupil has difficulty with PSHE; adaptations, adjustments and interventions can support knowledge and understanding. Any interventions that are necessary will be discussed with parents/carers and Individual targets sheets competed and reviewed if necessary.
